The 1990 British one pound coin featuring the Welsh leek design was part of a series that used national floral emblems to represent the four constituent countries of the UK. This particular coin, designed by Leslie Durbin, prominently displays a Welsh leek encircled by a royal diadem. The obverse side of the coin features the third portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf. The edge inscription, "PLEIDIOL WYF I'M GWLAD," translates to "True I am to my country". It was issued in both brilliant uncirculated and proof versions, and also in silver proof and silver piedfort.
